....check out recent discussion on Wikipedia_talk:External_links, i think you'll be interested. JoeSmack Talk 19:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Eagle, in case you haven't seen this yet: [1].
We need to start making sure the databases are synced. Saga might be able to set the /Spambot directory on xerospace to have a username/password that the bots use. In any case, I'm not bringing Shadowbot up until we get this problem fixed. Shadow1 (talk) 19:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Eagle 101, you speedy deleted James Utechin recently on the grounds of A7. I can understand if this person is considered by some unworthy of a full entry, but shouldn't something like this go through AfD? The person is notable actually ( source for playing Young Lupin in upcoming Harry Potter film from BBC), though it may be he doesn't merit an entire article to himself, in which case I would suggest a redirect to Minor actors and actresses in Harry Potter. However, I strongly oppose the deletion of the page without some sort of discussion. (Incidentally, Talk:James Utechin still exists. Dunno if you want to do something about that.) -- Fbv 65 e del / ☑t / ☛c || 23:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
hey thanks for the tips just now! i found out about the irc spam project from a banner on someones user page. im gonna try my best to help, but itll probably take me a while to figure everything out :) my names matt btw -- gwc 23:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, as lots of work has been done of working through this list, again mostly by me, I think it now needs another re-run. Would you be able to do that in the next day or two. Thanks :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 16:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Also is there any movement on being able set up runs of these lists ourselves. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 16:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

How is the link added to for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon spamming? Please check the speeches and audio recordings links already present there.
There is a widespread precedence on wikipedia for audio recordings as factual contributions. Audio interviews are no less factual than links to text based fansites hosted on geocities or videos links to youtube or google videos, such links already exist all over wikipedia as acceptable and are sufficiently relevant to exist, why not the ones I have added?
If you allow some but not others, without a clear criteria as to what audio recording links are allowed and which ones are not, than there is not only a double standard going on here but a form of censorship as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Christopher70 ( talk • contribs) 19:11, November 30, 2006 (UTC)
Eagle, I have read both the Spam and external link guidelines. I feel that the links and content that I've added do not run afoul of Wiki policies. Furthermore, if the links and content that I have added are contrary, certainly the large and widespread links to LawPeriscope, are in the exact same category. I do not feel, however, that Law Periscope nor the AveryIndex fit in the prohibited categories.
Here are the links to be avoided guidelines. The content is useful and relevant. The links I've added link to unique resources, including user comments, star rankings, firm news and firm practice areas. The research and information is all verified and high quality. The links are not intended mainly to promote a web site (any more than LawPeriscope) in that they provide information on the firm. No products or services are sold. There is very little advertising on these pages (similar to amount on LawPeriscope). No payment is required to view. Website is accessible. No external applications are needed. This is not a search engine result page. This is not a social networking site. This is not a personal website. This is not an open wiki. This is material directly applicable to the firms (perhaps more so than LawPeriscope).
I feel this is inconsistent treatment and that the content I have added provides value. Many references to the AveryIndex Law Firm rankings exist on Wikipedia. They benefit me and others who are interested in law firms, such as law students. In addition, I understand that the Avery Index doesn't generate enough on the little advertising there is to even cover hosting.
Also, the Schiltz 100 was designed by a law professor at Notre Dame and is academic, non-commercial. Seems like exactly what Wikipedia is all about. This unsigned comment was submitted by GreysAnatomy ( talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log) on 22:26, 30 November 2006
Hey Eagle. I can give you several reasons the AveryIndex is reliable. 1. most of the data comes from a database of 6,500 attorney surveys, 2. some of the data comes from a separate database of 15,000 attorney surveys, 3. the rest of the data comes from either the NALP (National Association for Law Placement) or reliable new sources (CNN, The American Lawyer, etc.), 4. the information includes 6,600 direct links to official law firm websites (another source of verification), 5. the judge is not self-published at all as far as I know - the Schiltz 100 methodology was published originally in the Vanderbilt Law Review
[2], which is published by the Vanderbilt Law School, a top 20 law school
[3]. Law reviews are highly verified as they are professional publications and each article is subjected to extensive pre-publication scrutiny and then post-publication responses.
Thanks for deleting that article, and I'm sorry about the confused nature of the AfD listing =/ I'm still not entirely sure which tag I should have used.... Alexforcefive 04:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, it was unclear from your edit summary why you removed the picture of King's College Hospital Golden Jubilee Wing. Was it a copyvio? If so why not just revert the image back to the original one I had put up of the Ruskin Wing which has a commons licence? Thanks -- PaulWicks 17:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I have added a sample link of AboutUs.org in use.. and more defense of first popular DMOZ alternative. Please revisit the new article, but try the link to whois at the bottom showing about us in use by a popular information source on WhoIs.-- 162.83.180.170 18:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just got a message from you about my editing of links on the college bowl games. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:75.36.213.220&redirect=no What's sort of funny is that I was trying to do the right thing, and clean up some links that someone else had posted. I was making them go to the specific .htm page for each game, and correcting the link text because his site doesn't have a history of the games, but accounts of the games that have been collected from various uncredited sources. Personally, I would be fine with removing all of those links as the linked-to site has copied some descriptions from wikipedia, and other sites, without quoting or attributing the quotes. (I sent an e-mail to the owner of the site about that already.) So anyways, in summary, I was trying to clean up his links. From your message, maybe the links should just be deleted. Let me know what you want me to do.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.36.213.220 ( talk • contribs) 22:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
Sorry, do you mean you want me to delete his links? User:Wizardry Dragon/Templates/UserTalkPage unsignedip
I guess I will leave them for now since most of my changes have been reverted (which I think is wrong) and I'm afraid that if I start deleting his links, someone will think I'm vandalizing. User:Wizardry Dragon/Templates/UserTalkPage unsignedip
I did, it's now Mcrawford620. Still not sure -- do you want me to delete all of the links like History of the Liberty Bowl? If not, they should at least be edited.
Yep, I've read those and I think that the links should be deleted as they do not fall under any of the categories of "What should be linked to" or "Links to be considered." They are all links to a personal webpage (discouraged under "Links normally to be avoided"), they are a bunch of links across many articles to the same page (talked about on the Spam page), and have unattributed sources (I can see that some of his text is copied from Wikipedia). So, I can try to delete them as that's my reading of the situation.
But I guess my concern is that if I start deleting his links, it will be construed as vandalizing and my attempts will just be reverted again. Also, since I'm new here, I'm not exactly sure that I'm reading the guidelines perfectly. I appreciate your help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mcrawford620 ( talk • contribs) 07:03, December 4, 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. Probably the easiest way to find the pages I'm editing is just by going to Mcrawford620 contribs since I don't plan on editing anything else right now. I'm going to be going down the list of articles here: Mmbolding contribs, because he's the one that added all the links. Thanks for the intro, I'll look into the IRC client when I get a chance. I was wondering what that protocol was that Firefox didn't recognize. Mcrawford620 16:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello. Just wanted to let you know that I closed the XFDs for Molly Fox, Mario Kart Nintendo Wii, and Demisolarman. Gzkn 07:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Can you please tell me why you deleted 'G Bar'? Kneale 14:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I do not agree with your decision to delete my page. Gay clubs in other cities of the UK have pages but none for Liverpool (eg G-A-Y, Popstarz, Heaven_nightclub) Kneale 20:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey Eagle, I believe this page was deleted because of lack of notability. They had a page before I edited it and since has been deleted. This band does have a considerable following and tour actively. They are signed to a newly formed label Areena Records. I was trying to expand the article by including album information and was working on getting more sources. I would like a chance to expand the article to meet Wikipedia standards. This is the first article I edited and do not want this bands page to be deleted because of me. Thank You. Rockman10 17:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I have a new user Kneale who asked me a question about the article G Bar. I think I remember seeing the article, and I think I may have been the nominator for WP:CSD. However, I don't recall what the violation was. Can you help me explain to the user on his talk page about why the article was questionable? Thanks-- Ed ¿Cómo estás? 00:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
“ | Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. If the assertion is controversial or there has been a previous AfD, the article should be nominated for AfD instead. Note: Avoid the word "vanity" in deletion summaries since it may be considered insulting. | ” |
I think that User:Taelmx may have recreated Rising Tide Online after you deleted it for being advertising. WODUP ( talk) 06:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, userification of corporate vanity articles only makes them more spammy, not less. Articles about companies masquerading as user pages are not user pages, they are blatant adverts. There's an ongoing crackdown against this stuff, because Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Userpages are not immune from {{ db-spam}}, in fact one of the main reasons it is a general criteria is because of spam like this. MER-C 07:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

You recently deleted two articles i posted ( Dan Saenz, Jetset Music Group. There was no explanation for the deletion of any sort and i specifically asked for comments/ concerns regarding the articles. I have referenced numerous similar articles and the ones that i have posted are very similar is format and style. I do not understand why they are not acceptable. I can't make changes if I don't know what the problem is. Please help!!! INT001 19:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
You don't seem to get what I am saying about WP:INN, Please read that. On another note, I am willing to undelete these to your userspace. That would mean the articles would go to User:INT001/Dan Saenz and User:INT001/Jetset Music Group. This way you could improve the articles some more. Then when you think they are ready for mainspace, let me know and I will move them. (this does not preclude me from tagging them for {{ afd}}, but if you show me why they should be kept, by improving the pages, I will be glad to move them to mainspace. Keep in mind... for them to pass an AFD they will need to meet the requirements of WP:MUSIC, WP:BAND, and WP:CORP. —— Eagle ( ask me for help) 21:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you recently speedily deleted the Twelve project entry due to the fact you considered it as not being notable. It was notable in that it features at least one member (more than one actually) from a notable group ( Six By Seven). Surely this article should have been put up for discussion under the articles for deletion section. The reason that I am saying this is that Fuck me USA, which is linked back to this group and also has the same relationship with six by seven, is currently being discussed. In fact Twelve should be more elligible to have an article on Wikipedia seeing as two albums have been released. Both Twelve and Fuck Me USA are an essential part of the Six By Seven history/timeline. Please put it up for discussion.
Thanks, Ollie -- Olliemorr 19:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi--
I've been adding links to the official websites/webpages for Broadway theatres in NY. You've deleted at least one of those links as spam. I'm not certain why. I've read the spam link guidelines, and these links don't violate those guidelines, as far as I can tell. They are not marketing links (as many of the links on these pages are), they are links to the official sites for these theatres, sites which have the most comprehensive historical information on the theatres anywhere on the Internet, as far as I've been able to find.
At this time I'm not interested in participating in the grander Wikipedia project of providing a fuller section on the history of NY theatres, although I am glad others are working on it. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be discussing this with, since the only discussion around these pages seems to be focused on that major project.
While I am not new to Wikipedia, I am new to editing, so I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jtattenbaum ( talk • contribs) 22:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Until then, remember wikipedia's job is not to make thing popular and or "spread the word", we are an encyclopedia. —— Eagle ( ask me for help) 05:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Despite being chastised for personal attacks, I'm finding this very difficult (and aggravating). You either marked for speedy deletion or performed the deletion of my stub article on Hardware Direct MIDI Routing with the excuse of:
Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject.
So, please:
Otherwise, I'll have to escalate this issue. Wikipedia is supposed to make information available for the masses, not pacify one's desire to belligerently delete new articles.
Thank you, Daniel Santos 07:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
You speedy deleted the article on Mitsuhiro Ishida, but the subject, as a professional mixed martial arts fighter fighting in PRIDE, a major MMA promotion, is a sportsman who has competed at the highest level in his sport, and clearly passes WP:BIO and the Google test. Please reconsider your deletion, there are plenty like me at WP:MMA who can evaluate the article and edit it to an acceptable state. Thank you, hateless 10:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering why you speedy deleted the article on this (purported) upcoming disney film. Several people made the comment on the AfD page that it was nonsense, but it clearly was not - it was just really, really poorly written. Did anyone do any research to see if the film is really in production? If so, it seems clear that an article should exist. The fact that the article, as it existed, was probably written by a pre-teen doesn't mean it should have simply been deleted, in my opinion. -- Dmz5 17:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Could you please undelete ImageMagick, or was there an AfD that I can't find? It's a popular open source project. -- Foobody 18:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I read the copy of the article in Google cache, I didn't see anything that looked like "blatant advertising", so if that's accurate, if I were to rewrite it I think I would need more specific criteria. -- Foobody 18:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I do not feel that speedy deletion was appropriate in this case. The G11 criteria says that the article must be "blatant" advertising such that it would need to be "fundamentally rewritten" to not read like an advertisement — this article might need only one or two minor changes if anything. I think that inclusion of Template:Advert or something like it would have been much more appropriate. I will make minor changes anyway. Would you like to review the article before I move it back? -- Foobody 19:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I made some edits to User:Foobody/ImageMagick. Is it OK? I thought that all the external links were relevant, but a couple of the internal links not so. -- Foobody 20:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you with this. Somebody vandalized what I'd written, and the page was speedied because the vandalized version was nonsense.

I wish someone would have warned me before you deleted Jennifer Brunner. Deiz gave her article back to me after I provided my reason for needing it. As you can see from the old AfD, she's no longer just a candidate so the old rationale for deletion no longer applies. I want to put it back up, but I don't want it speedy-deleted again. How do I go about this? Can you put it back and do something that will stop it from being deleted? — coelacan talk — 02:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, contrary to what you wrote, [8] "incoherent stuff" is most certainly a speedy-delete criterion encompassed by G1 and A1. I do abhor the numbered abbreviations; first I can never remember them, and second we are not playing nomic. Unsuitable stuff needs to go, regardless if it is called "A1" or "incoherent material".

I created this page and in the time it took me to save the template to the time I populated it, it was flaged (probably correctly at the time) as empty. Yes, a edit conflict, but at the time I thought it wasn't anything to worry about....
I had added a lot of information to the page about this aircraft, but the "speedy deletion" flag stayed on as I didn't (and still don't) know the proper procedure for removing such a flag.
Is there any way to "undelete" this page (with the information that I had entered), so I don't have to attempt to re-reseatch it again? Thanks.... NDCompuGeek 21:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hiya, you deleted Nightmare of You per WP:CSD#A7 - I, however, the original author, did not request for it to be deleted!

I'd appreciate it if you could recreate the article. Thanks. Halo 06:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Halo, the problem with policy is that it is open to interpretation, and while in your discersion it may not be CSD material, it may be in another's. I tend to trust Eagle's judgement since he has dealt with a wide breadth of CSDs, however there is always the option of him deleting it to your userspace so that you may improve it, so long as you realize if it just sits there it will be deleted per Wikipedia not being a free hosting service.

I am afraid the allegations regarding single-party state, as posted at WP:AE, has never been substantiated. I don't agree that's a valid ground to impose any blocks or new terms. Furthermore, WP:AE is not a place to insert new penalties. It is a place for people to request for enforcement of those passed in the previous case. One more point to note, if you may not have already noticed, I have protested regarding procedures of the most recent case, which was brought up when I was under a long block from Wikipedia that I cannot even submit my statement. — Insta ntnood 07:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Eagle,
I have removed the protection from the above article, as I wasn't sure you had realised it is on the main page. A main page, featured article should not be protected unless there is an unusually high level of vandalism, and I have seen much more than this. I have actually been surprised by how little vandalism it has been getting. I would normally consult you first, but being the TFA, it would take too long to figure this out behind the scences, all the while people cannot edit it. Editing the TFA is an important step for many newcomers. Thanks. -- liquidGhoul 04:04, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I do not believe that I am being uncivil. Perhaps, wereI to take a step back, I would see your point of view. But, in my defense, there is a new editor who is pushing his POV in the Chabad-Lubavitch article and other articles, and who is reverting the product of previous consensus without using the talk page. I am not interested in an edit war. If a consensus comes out against me, I will bend to it. I just want there to be a proper consensus. However, I will not revert his latest edit, as it would be a violation of the three revert rule. Rather, I would like some administrator to intervene. -- Meshulam 02:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Let me see if I have this straight. 1) I add nine words to the WKBS-TV page; 2) Rollosmokes has a hairy conniption fit, insulting me in the process (a common reaction for this guy when someone dares edit "his" pages)); 3) I respond in kind, and 4) I get banned for "personal attacks"!
Boy, that's rich. Are you guys all on the same bowling team or something?
This has gone well beyong the WKBS-TV page; there's principle involved here, which I why I keep pursuing it.
I'm going to edit WKBS-TV one last time. The admins have a choice to make:
1) Leave it alone, or 2) Revert it yet again, which sends the message that if a user jumps up and down and waves his arms (and has the right friends), he can get his way.
Your choice, fellas. RMc 11:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Please be aware that G4 deletions (reposted content) only apply when a page has been through a valid XfD deletion debate with a result of delete. Previous speedies and prods do not qualify for G4, though they may of course still qualify under the prior speedy criterion. In this case, that website still seems to be unremarkable (no external sources found on Google), so I'm not contesting the result, just your process. Be careful!

I am an admin on both the english wikipedia (here) and on the meta wiki. Be sure your request belongs here; most routine requests dealing with permissions (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser stuff) should go to a noticeboard rather than an individual talk page. Disputes between editors, especially content disputes, belong in formal dispute resolution, not here; if you raise them here, I'm just going to say "I don't get involved" and send you to dispute resolution, so save time and head there now. I archive obsessively, often several times a day; if you do not see a comment you left here, it has probably been archived, please look in my archives. Users are welcome to bring archived discussions back if they have additional comments. If you left a comment and didn't get a response from me, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, I was busy and forgot to answer; poke me, and I'll be sure to do it. However, if you left a comment that you expected would elicit an angry response, and instead received no response, then I probably didn't forget, I just didn't respond. I reserve the right to archive personal attacks, incivility, or canvassing separately and immediately. Severe instances may simply be deleted. Others are encouraged to help out and respond to posts here. Plenty of angry and clueless posts find their way here, and to my email; in the vast majority, I find that the writer has misunderstood some difficult aspect of Wikipedia. Though I may seem to have everything under control, I appreciate having others help out and back me up. I am a VandalProof moderator. If you have problems with VandalProof, please ask. If you came here because I removed a link that you posted onto Wikipedia. Please read and understand this first. Archives |

Are you still interested in being an arbitration clerk? We're taking "trainees" (for lack of a better word) one at a time, and you're up next and welcome to start helping out if you want. There will be two new cases to open tomorrow, so it's a good time to start. The clerks are coordinated through Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Clerks/Administration. We leave notes there about tasks that need doing, and whomever is free can sign up and then do it. The procedures are linked to that page as well, and another clerk will probably proofread anything you've done the first few times. If you have any questions, you can ask me or FloNight or Srikeit. Let me know if you've changed your mind; otherwise, keep an eye on the clerks administration page and welcome aboard. Thatcher131 00:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, You deleted the page on Senh Duong citing Copyright infringement. Could you please explain what you mean by that? also under the wikipedia page for this action it says
“ | When tagging a page for deletion under this criterion, a user should notify the page's creator using {{ Nothanks-sd}} or a similar message. If the deleting administrator is notified of a plausible error, they should restore the content and, if a confirmation e-mail has not been received, follow the Wikipedia:Copyright problems procedure, blanking the article with the template. Some suspected copyright infringements that need to be dealt with are listed at Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations' I wasn't notified of this before the page was deleted. | ” |

Greetings, on Dec 4, at 14:02, IceCreamAntisocial tagged the article Peter Cusack as A7. At 15:22, one hour and twenty minutes later, Filll added a "hangon" tag. At 6:41, 5 December you deleted the article. Several articles link to this deleted article; the author is a newbie who added seven sentences and a source to the article after the A7 and Hangons were added (and admittedly didn't make much of a case on Talk for not deleting.) He has posted on my page for guidance on what he did not do that he should have done. Question: Did he not make a strong enough case for not speedy-ing the article, or did you not see the "hangon"? Would you have an objection to one of us undeleting the article so the author can expand and source the article fully? KillerChihuahua ?!? 10:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Eagle, I was analysing this one and didn't notice that you had already declined it. I have fully protected the article due to an edit war and blocked both users for violating the 3RR.

I'm attempting to create an article about a company that provides free industry news and online tools for television advertising DRTV Research. The company's website www.backchannelmedia.com recieves over 11,000 visitors a day and has over 172,705 pages indexed in the major search engines. I don't believe the article is spam as it contains valuable information about a company and will be a helpful resource for people looking for similiar companies and services.

Hi- You deleted our entry for "Nonsense Humor Magazine" on Dec 8., and while we disagree with the decision, we accept the fact that you guys just aren't going to change your mind on this one (no matter how much solid, supporting evidence we've brought up during deletion review, but I digress). So, politely and sincerely, I'd like to ask if I could have a copy of the text of the entry when it was last posted. We have purchased www.nonsensehumormagazine.com and plan to put the history of the magazine up on there (i.e. this is not a transparent request for text where it will wind up reposted to wikipedia 10 minutes later). The most recent version of the entry that was on wikipedia was the most detailed version of the history--mirror copies at answer.com, etc., don't reflect the extensive updating that had gone on in late November. So having the most recent version of the entry would be a huge help in getting the dotcom version of our history off the ground. Your assistance with this would be greatly appreciated; if you're not the right person for me to ask about it, please do me the favor of pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hello, Eagle 101, you speedy deleted James Utechin recently on the grounds of A7. I can understand if this person is considered by some unworthy of a full entry, but shouldn't something like this go through AfD? The person is notable actually ( source for playing Young Lupin in upcoming Harry Potter film from BBC), though it may be he doesn't merit an entire article to himself, in which case I would suggest a redirect to Minor actors and actresses in Harry Potter. However, I strongly oppose the deletion of the page without some sort of discussion. (Incidentally, Talk:James Utechin still exists.

How is the link added to for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon spamming? Please check the speeches and audio recordings links already present there.
There is a widespread precedence on wikipedia for audio recordings as factual contributions. Audio interviews are no less factual than links to text based fansites hosted on geocities or videos links to youtube or google videos, such links already exist all over wikipedia as acceptable and are sufficiently relevant to exist, why not the ones I have added?
If you allow some but not others, without a clear criteria as to what audio recording links are allowed and which ones are not, than there is not only a double standard going on here but a form of censorship as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Christopher70 ( talk • contribs) 19:11, November 30, 2006 (UTC)
Eagle, I have read both the Spam and external link guidelines. I feel that the links and content that I've added do not run afoul of Wiki policies. Furthermore, if the links and content that I have added are contrary, certainly the large and widespread links to LawPeriscope, are in the exact same category. I do not feel, however, that Law Periscope nor the AveryIndex fit in the prohibited categories.
Here are the links to be avoided guidelines. The content is useful and relevant. The links I've added link to unique resources, including user comments, star rankings, firm news and firm practice areas. The research and information is all verified and high quality. The links are not intended mainly to promote a web site (any more than LawPeriscope) in that they provide information on the firm. No products or services are sold. There is very little advertising on these pages (similar to amount on LawPeriscope). No payment is required to view. Website is accessible. No external applications are needed. This is not a search engine result page. This is not a social networking site. This is not a personal website. This is not an open wiki. This is material directly applicable to the firms (perhaps more so than LawPeriscope).
I feel this is inconsistent treatment and that the content I have added provides value. Many references to the AveryIndex Law Firm rankings exist on Wikipedia. They benefit me and others who are interested in law firms, such as law students. In addition, I understand that the Avery Index doesn't generate enough on the little advertising there is to even cover hosting.
Also, the Schiltz 100 was designed by a law professor at Notre Dame and is academic, non-commercial. Seems like exactly what Wikipedia is all about. This unsigned comment was submitted by GreysAnatomy ( talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log) on 22:26, 30 November 2006
Hey Eagle. I can give you several reasons the AveryIndex is reliable. 1. most of the data comes from a database of 6,500 attorney surveys, 2. some of the data comes from a separate database of 15,000 attorney surveys, 3. the rest of the data comes from either the NALP (National Association for Law Placement) or reliable new sources (CNN, The American Lawyer, etc.), 4. the information includes 6,600 direct links to official law firm websites (another source of verification), 5. the judge is not self-published at all as far as I know - the Schiltz 100 methodology was published originally in the Vanderbilt Law Review
[2], which is published by the Vanderbilt Law School, a top 20 law school
[3]. Law reviews are highly verified as they are professional publications and each article is subjected to extensive pre-publication scrutiny and then post-publication responses.

Hi, I just got a message from you about my editing of links on the college bowl games. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:75.36.213.220&redirect=no What's sort of funny is that I was trying to do the right thing, and clean up some links that someone else had posted. I was making them go to the specific .htm page for each game, and correcting the link text because his site doesn't have a history of the games, but accounts of the games that have been collected from various uncredited sources. Personally, I would be fine with removing all of those links as the linked-to site has copied some descriptions from wikipedia, and other sites, without quoting or attributing the quotes. (I sent an e-mail to the owner of the site about that already.) So anyways, in summary, I was trying to clean up his links. From your message, maybe the links should just be deleted. Let me know what you want me to do.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.36.213.220 ( talk • contribs) 22:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
Sorry, do you mean you want me to delete his links? User:Wizardry Dragon/Templates/UserTalkPage unsignedip
I guess I will leave them for now since most of my changes have been reverted (which I think is wrong) and I'm afraid that if I start deleting his links, someone will think I'm vandalizing. User:Wizardry Dragon/Templates/UserTalkPage unsignedip
I did, it's now Mcrawford620. Still not sure -- do you want me to delete all of the links like History of the Liberty Bowl? If not, they should at least be edited.
Yep, I've read those and I think that the links should be deleted as they do not fall under any of the categories of "What should be linked to" or "Links to be considered." They are all links to a personal webpage (discouraged under "Links normally to be avoided"), they are a bunch of links across many articles to the same page (talked about on the Spam page), and have unattributed sources (I can see that some of his text is copied from Wikipedia). So, I can try to delete them as that's my reading of the situation.
But I guess my concern is that if I start deleting his links, it will be construed as vandalizing and my attempts will just be reverted again. Also, since I'm new here, I'm not exactly sure that I'm reading the guidelines perfectly. I appreciate your help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mcrawford620 ( talk • contribs) 07:03, December 4, 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, userification of corporate vanity articles only makes them more spammy, not less. Articles about companies masquerading as user pages are not user pages, they are blatant adverts. There's an ongoing crackdown against this stuff, because Wikipedia is not an advertising service.

Hi, you recently speedily deleted the Twelve project entry due to the fact you considered it as not being notable. It was notable in that it features at least one member (more than one actually) from a notable group ( Six By Seven). Surely this article should have been put up for discussion under the articles for deletion section. The reason that I am saying this is that Fuck me USA, which is linked back to this group and also has the same relationship with six by seven, is currently being discussed. In fact Twelve should be more elligible to have an article on Wikipedia seeing as two albums have been released. Both Twelve and Fuck Me USA are an essential part of the Six By Seven history/timeline. Please put it up for discussion.

Hi--
I've been adding links to the official websites/webpages for Broadway theatres in NY. You've deleted at least one of those links as spam. I'm not certain why. I've read the spam link guidelines, and these links don't violate those guidelines, as far as I can tell. They are not marketing links (as many of the links on these pages are), they are links to the official sites for these theatres, sites which have the most comprehensive historical information on the theatres anywhere on the Internet, as far as I've been able to find.
At this time I'm not interested in participating in the grander Wikipedia project of providing a fuller section on the history of NY theatres, although I am glad others are working on it. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be discussing this with, since the only discussion around these pages seems to be focused on that major project.

I read the copy of the article in Google cache, I didn't see anything that looked like "blatant advertising", so if that's accurate, if I were to rewrite it I think I would need more specific criteria. -- Foobody 18:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I do not feel that speedy deletion was appropriate in this case. The G11 criteria says that the article must be "blatant" advertising such that it would need to be "fundamentally rewritten" to not read like an advertisement — this article might need only one or two minor changes if anything. I think that inclusion of Template:Advert or something like it would have been much more appropriate. I will make minor changes anyway. Would you like to review the article before I move it back? -- Foobody 19:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I made some edits to User:Foobody/ImageMagick. Is it OK? I thought that all the external links were relevant, but a couple of the internal links not so. -- Foobody 20:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
This article was deleted today, and the comment says "unremarkable people...". Cousins is the captain of a professional lacrosse team, how is he considered "unremarkable"? There are many pages on other athletes less "remarkable" than Cousins. -- MrBoo ( talk, contribs) 21:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you with this. Somebody vandalized what I'd written, and the page was speedied because the vandalized version was nonsense. The original fellow was notable enough, I'd say - he was featured in an exhibition at the National Museum of African Art in Washington, DC, not too long ago. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 01:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I wish someone would have warned me before you deleted Jennifer Brunner. Deiz gave her article back to me after I provided my reason for needing it. As you can see from the old AfD, she's no longer just a candidate so the old rationale for deletion no longer applies. I want to put it back up, but I don't want it speedy-deleted again. How do I go about this? Can you put it back and do something that will stop it from being deleted? — coelacan talk — 02:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, contrary to what you wrote, [8] "incoherent stuff" is most certainly a speedy-delete criterion encompassed by G1 and A1. I do abhor the numbered abbreviations; first I can never remember them, and second we are not playing nomic. Unsuitable stuff needs to go, regardless if it is called "A1" or "incoherent material". Regards, Dr Zak 20:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm curious as to why you deleted that article? Did you not read the comments on the talk page? It really doesn't qualify for deletion IMO under the criteria listed. Anchoress 20:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Please note: Any article which has been previously deleted that is recreated my at any time as recreation of deleted content/. No further reason is needed. That it was in contravention of WP:NPOV, WP:SPAM, WP:V, and WP:RS just compounds the problem. As well, the inclusion of other biased articles is not an indicator of this article's notability. ✎ Peter M Dodge aka "Wiz" ( Talk to Me) ( Support Neutrality) 23:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I created this page and in the time it took me to save the template to the time I populated it, it was flaged (probably correctly at the time) as empty. Yes, a edit conflict, but at the time I thought it wasn't anything to worry about....
I had added a lot of information to the page about this aircraft, but the "speedy deletion" flag stayed on as I didn't (and still don't) know the proper procedure for removing such a flag.
Is there any way to "undelete" this page (with the information that I had entered), so I don't have to attempt to re-reseatch it again? Thanks.... NDCompuGeek 21:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hiya, you deleted Nightmare of You per WP:CSD#A7 - I, however, the original author, did not request for it to be deleted! I was reinstating a request I removed because I'm not supposed to remove speedy deletion requests as the original author of the article (instead use WP:HANGON and explain my reasons). I'd appreciate it if you could recreate the article. Thanks. Halo 06:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Halo, the problem with policy is that it is open to interpretation, and while in your discersion it may not be CSD material, it may be in another's. I tend to trust Eagle's judgement since he has dealt with a wide breadth of CSDs, however there is always the option of him deleting it to your userspace so that you may improve it, so long as you realize if it just sits there it will be deleted per Wikipedia not being a free hosting service.

I am afraid the allegations regarding single-party state, as posted at WP:AE, has never been substantiated. I don't agree that's a valid ground to impose any blocks or new terms. Furthermore, WP:AE is not a place to insert new penalties. It is a place for people to request for enforcement of those passed in the previous case. One more point to note, if you may not have already noticed, I have protested regarding procedures of the most recent case, which was brought up when I was under a long block from Wikipedia that I cannot even submit my statement. — Insta ntnood 07:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
What was the content of the Brandon Miller article? It was deleted before, and I believe it was vandalized. It was about a NASCAR driver who was notable. Thanks! -- D -Day I'm all ears 11:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
You just recently deleted this article, though it's now back. I checked the criteria you deleted it as, but I can't tell if the creator has improved it since then. She here here? Barbara Biggs - WarthogDemon 01:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eagle,
I have removed the protection from the above article, as I wasn't sure you had realised it is on the main page. A main page, featured article should not be protected unless there is an unusually high level of vandalism, and I have seen much more than this. I have actually been surprised by how little vandalism it has been getting. I would normally consult you first, but being the TFA, it would take too long to figure this out behind the scences, all the while people cannot edit it. Editing the TFA is an important step for many newcomers. Thanks. -- liquidGhoul 04:04, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ned Raggett. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -- Muchness 04:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I do not believe that I am being uncivil. Perhaps, wereI to take a step back, I would see your point of view. But, in my defense, there is a new editor who is pushing his POV in the Chabad-Lubavitch article and other articles, and who is reverting the product of previous consensus without using the talk page. I am not interested in an edit war. If a consensus comes out against me, I will bend to it. I just want there to be a proper consensus. However, I will not revert his latest edit, as it would be a violation of the three revert rule. Rather, I would like some administrator to intervene. -- Meshulam 02:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Let me see if I have this straight. 1) I add nine words to the WKBS-TV page; 2) Rollosmokes has a hairy conniption fit, insulting me in the process (a common reaction for this guy when someone dares edit "his" pages)); 3) I respond in kind, and 4) I get banned for "personal attacks"!
Boy, that's rich. Are you guys all on the same bowling team or something?
This has gone well beyong the WKBS-TV page; there's principle involved here, which I why I keep pursuing it.
I'm going to edit WKBS-TV one last time. The admins have a choice to make:
1) Leave it alone, or 2) Revert it yet again, which sends the message that if a user jumps up and down and waves his arms (and has the right friends), he can get his way.
Your choice, fellas. RMc 11:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Please be aware that G4 deletions (reposted content) only apply when a page has been through a valid XfD deletion debate with a result of delete. Previous speedies and prods do not qualify for G4, though they may of course still qualify under the prior speedy criterion. In this case, that website still seems to be unremarkable (no external sources found on Google), so I'm not contesting the result, just your process. Be careful!

My Talk Page
I am an admin on both the english wikipedia (here) and on the meta wiki. Be sure your request belongs here; most routine requests dealing with permissions (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser stuff) should go to a noticeboard rather than an individual talk page. Disputes between editors, especially content disputes, belong in formal dispute resolution, not here; if you raise them here, I'm just going to say "I don't get involved" and send you to dispute resolution, so save time and head there now. I archive obsessively, often several times a day; if you do not see a comment you left here, it has probably been archived, please look in my archives. Users are welcome to bring archived discussions back if they have additional comments. If you left a comment and didn't get a response from me, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, I was busy and forgot to answer; poke me, and I'll be sure to do it. However, if you left a comment that you expected would elicit an angry response, and instead received no response, then I probably didn't forget, I just didn't respond. I reserve the right to archive personal attacks, incivility, or canvassing separately and immediately. Severe instances may simply be deleted. Others are encouraged to help out and respond to posts here. Plenty of angry and clueless posts find their way here, and to my email; in the vast majority, I find that the writer has misunderstood some difficult aspect of Wikipedia. Though I may seem to have everything under control, I appreciate having others help out and back me up. I am a VandalProof moderator. If you have problems with VandalProof, please ask. If you came here because I removed a link that you posted onto Wikipedia. Please read and understand this first. Archives |

Are you still interested in being an arbitration clerk? We're taking "trainees" (for lack of a better word) one at a time, and you're up next and welcome to start helping out if you want. There will be two new cases to open tomorrow, so it's a good time to start. The clerks are coordinated through Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Clerks/Administration. We leave notes there about tasks that need doing, and whomever is free can sign up and then do it. The procedures are linked to that page as well, and another clerk will probably proofread anything you've done the first few times. If you have any questions, you can ask me or FloNight or Srikeit. Let me know if you've changed your mind; otherwise, keep an eye on the clerks administration page and welcome aboard. Thatcher131 00:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, You deleted the page on Senh Duong citing Copyright infringement. Could you please explain what you mean by that? also under the wikipedia page for this action it says
“ | When tagging a page for deletion under this criterion, a user should notify the page's creator using {{ Nothanks-sd}} or a similar message. If the deleting administrator is notified of a plausible error, they should restore the content and, if a confirmation e-mail has not been received, follow the Wikipedia:Copyright problems procedure, blanking the article with the template. Some suspected copyright infringements that need to be dealt with are listed at Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations' I wasn't notified of this before the page was deleted. | ” |

Greetings, on Dec 4, at 14:02, IceCreamAntisocial tagged the article Peter Cusack as A7. At 15:22, one hour and twenty minutes later, Filll added a "hangon" tag. At 6:41, 5 December you deleted the article. Several articles link to this deleted article; the author is a newbie who added seven sentences and a source to the article after the A7 and Hangons were added (and admittedly didn't make much of a case on Talk for not deleting.) He has posted on my page for guidance on what he did not do that he should have done. Question: Did he not make a strong enough case for not speedy-ing the article, or did you not see the "hangon"? Would you have an objection to one of us undeleting the article so the author can expand and source the article fully? KillerChihuahua ?!? 10:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Eagle, I was analysing this one and didn't notice that you had already declined it. I have fully protected the article due to an edit war and blocked both users for violating the 3RR. Since you had given your "verdict" first, I'd like you to review this once again. I shall unprotect the article if you still find it unnecessary. Thank you.

I'm attempting to create an article about a company that provides free industry news and online tools for television advertising DRTV Research. The company's website www.backchannelmedia.com recieves over 11,000 visitors a day and has over 172,705 pages indexed in the major search engines. I don't believe the article is spam as it contains valuable information about a company and will be a helpful resource for people looking for similiar companies and services. What can I do so it doesn't get deleted (before i even finish creating it)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Goonits ( talk • contribs) 22:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

Hi- You deleted our entry for "Nonsense Humor Magazine" on Dec 8., and while we disagree with the decision, we accept the fact that you guys just aren't going to change your mind on this one (no matter how much solid, supporting evidence we've brought up during deletion review, but I digress). So, politely and sincerely, I'd like to ask if I could have a copy of the text of the entry when it was last posted. We have purchased www.nonsensehumormagazine.com and plan to put the history of the magazine up on there (i.e. this is not a transparent request for text where it will wind up reposted to wikipedia 10 minutes later). The most recent version of the entry that was on wikipedia was the most detailed version of the history--mirror copies at answer.com, etc., don't reflect the extensive updating that had gone on in late November. So having the most recent version of the entry would be a huge help in getting the dotcom version of our history off the ground. Your assistance with this would be greatly appreciated; if you're not the right person for me to ask about it, please do me the favor of pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 04:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
